Kim Jaejoong Performs Soundly as the Cultural Envoy Making a State Visit… Volunteers to Visit Thailand’s King in Hospital.
Jaejoong Himself Suggests Paying a Visit to the Nation’s King Lying Sick in Bed;
Royal Family Returns the Favor by Attending Concert to Support
JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong visited Thailand’s King in the role of a State Guest to wish his recovery.
Kim Jaejoong visited on March 23rd Siriraz Hospital located in Bangkok, Thailand to wish for the recovery of health for the nation’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej. He went through the prayer ceremony and prayed for the well-being of the nation’s King and People.
Kim Jaejoong’s visit to the hospital materialized through coincidences. He became aware of the news of the King being ill in bed because he saw the yellow bracelets the fans were wearing while he was visiting Thailand for the concert’s promotions and asked for their meaning. He volunteered to visit the King on the spot to the surprise of those around him. The yellow bracelet was a symbol created by the royal family for the unification of Thailand’s citizens. But recently, due to the illness of the King, it is understood as a prayer for his recovery.
Kim Jaejoong, when meeting the press after finishing the performance on the 3rd and asked about the fact of his visit to the hospital, answered: “As much as Thailand’s fans love us, I wanted to return (the amount of) that love by expressing my respect for the person who is loved and respected by the fans. I wasn’t able to see the King personally but I wish that he will recover in as few days as possible.”
Thailand is highlighting Jaejoong’s thoughtful actions as very unusual. Jaejoong, in heading to the hospital, wore a pink necktie to express his wish for the recovery and himself composed the prayer. As these facts are becoming known, the praise for Kim Jaejoong is rising up all over Thailand. This is because he acted not merely as a singer visiting for a concert but rather as a cultural envoy promoting the friendship of the two countries.
As the Korean Wave suddenly arose all over Asia, there have been many side effects. In not respecting the other’s cultures but rather concentrating on the unilateral export of the Korean Wave, there can be detected now sentiments of the anti-Korean Wave. Also, the arrogant acts of the stars who visited foreign countries were also pointed out. Because the crisis of Korean Wave has been brought up multiple times, the moving story of Kim Jaejoong from Thailand adds warmth.
According to an affiliate of Thailand’s Tourism, Jaejoong’s visit is understood as that of a State Guest. This is because even if one wishes to visit the hospital bed, the royal family’s permission is needed. The royal family also treated Jaejoong with utmost care. As one example, because Jaejoong had visited Thailand for a concert he had not prepared a suit. For him, Thailand’s royal family showed their sincerity by emptying an entire floor of the famous shopping center Siam Paragon for Jaejoong to choose an outfit. On the 2nd, royal family themselves visited the Concert and watched, and even expressed thanks for Jaejoong’s visit. Kim Jaejoong answered with care: “I’ve done no more than my duty.”
JYJ, of which Kim Jaejoong is a member, met with around 22,000 fans over the 2nd and the 3rd in Bangkok, Thailand’s Impact Arena Concert Hall through their World Tour Concert in Bangkok. JYJ, with the Bangkok performance as the kickoff, will continue the heat of the Tour—Taipei, Taiwan on the 23rd; Beijing, China on May 7th, and Korea on June 11th and 12th.
It never ceases to astound us just how genuinely kind-hearted Jaejoong is… He is so beautiful, inside and out.

my jaejoongie is such a beautiful human being *o* my baby :3333
and that was amazing how they cleared the whole floor of the mall for him! and that the royal family went to the concert!
ahhh my boys. how can people say that you’re hurting the hallyu wave *rolls eyes*
as expected form our Jaejoong. so thoughtful. love him always.
WOW O___O !
wow indeed
Sweet and honorable Actions!!!
OMG that’s awesome..
they cleared the whole floor in siam paragon just for jaejoong?!???
and the royal family watched the concert????
my baby jae is that awesome..
awwww so much goodness in one article I had to read it over and over again just to savour it all
My heart is swelled with pride now ~
Kim Jaejoong is truly one of the most beautiful ppl – inside and out – that I have ever seen
It is no wonder he is loved and respected everywhere he goes, and no one can stop that
Im so glad everyone there took great care of him, and the amazing support that fans showed for JYJ
lets hope for similar success at other stops of the World Tour ^__^
Wow,Jaejoong really can make friends anywhere. Even Thailands’s Royal Family. I really respect his thoughtfulness.
I forgot to add, not only is he NOT harming the ‘Korean Wave’ he is practically saving it from the arrogance of some Korean entertainment people. I wonder who they are. (cough,cough)
It sounds like the Korean Wave is harming itself, & that it’s JYJ who are redeeming many Korean entertainers & the Korean music export industry. Every time I think I can’t love JJ more, he does something that makes me love him more!
Yaeh… This reaction from the Thai people and their Royal Family is something that the many other idols that represent the Hallyu wave cannot compare to.
It is only Jaejoong that gave them the impression of how a person should present himself, and that is because it is his heart that he’s following.
And God, I just love him more and more~!!! *melts*
Is it in hankook? Is hankook another big and potential newspaper beside chosun? Woowww.. uri jejung prince made it.. *O*
Kepcai, where the hell are you? Ruin hallyu wave your head!! Kim JaeJoong is the state guest!!!
Well, now let’s see.
Conducting oneself with dignity and class – yes, this is a definite sign of harm to the Korean Wave.
Offering hopes for a speedy recovery to the nation’s ruler, with heartfelt concern – yes, this is another sign of harm to the Korean Wave.
Treating the Thai fans to a wonderful 2 days of music, laughter, joy, and friendship – yes, this too can be added to the list of harming the Korean Wave.
Well, I guess we have it folks, proof positive, that JYJ represented by those despicable, shady characters named Kim JaeJoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu – have permanently marred the image of the Korean Wave. Watch out world, these 3 are coming soon to an arena near you!
SME, did I miss anything? Please inform me, goodness knows I don’t want to provide the wrong information about these nefarious criminals!
EPIC WIN!!!!!
@ButterfliesAreFree; what you’ve written is the truth. JYJ is ruining the “hallyu”(which they aren’t part thanks to SME’s actions) with their despicable actions, such as being extremely polite, even diplomatic. If acting voluntarily as if one were a cultural representative of the Korean government, without being one, and being received and considered by the royal family as an state guest isn’t honorable, then we definitely are in the backwards world. Jaejoong’s behavior proves, without any doubt, the marvelous and wise human being that he is. JYJ have certainly honored South Korea through their behavior in Thailand. My beloved and precious hearted boys; I’m very proud of them.
Hahaha…best comment ever !
Lol^^ you are absolutely right babe!!
And guess what, we JYJers are criminals in crime!!!
A+++++++
@ButterFliesAreFree
Just love all your comments!!!!BUZZ OFF SME !!!
Hello mother-hen! ♥ Since everyone here is a passionate JYJ supporter, should we brace ourselves for accusations from sm that we are in fact aiding & abetting these nefarious criminals?! Perhaps we’d better put Jimmie & JUNO on retainer as our lawyers?!
hahahahahahhah~!!!
for this mommy hen (i hope u dont mind me calling you that LOL), i offer you a garden of white, pink and red roses! ^___^
me love you!
@sammie (one of the pervert twins)
Ok, Mommy Hen works for me. I love roses, so anytime you want to give some, I will always apprecaite them. 🙂
@sapphie ( the other pervert twin)
I think we can hold off on the need for legal beagles. Why you ask? Well, it’s kind of hard for crooks, thieves, conspirators, the list goes on… to be calling anyone out. Kind of like – pot meet kettle. 😉
WOOOOOOOW so proud
KIM JEAJOONG Love u more and more
no One like JYJ<3
Some fans say only one store was closed off and the royal family didn’t watch. Everything else sounds about right, I think…
Jaejoong is really something else. He’s one of those people you can’t help but love.
Well, I’m not sure about the royal family, but the prime minsters daughter did go to their concert. Seems like shes a big fan of them~ =D
Yah, the floor did not close for sure, not on royal family’s order for sure. And for the concert attending, not sure about the royal family but the PM’s daughter was there…

see that! so who’s bringing the Hallyu down?
Kim Jaejoong…singer, composer, writer, dancer, actor, model, chef, director and now State Guest, Cultural Envoy! The list keeps getting longer.^^
Really thankful for Mr.Kung, making all things possible and treating our boys with utmost respect.. I’m sure he pulled some strings for JYJ,I’m guessing he experienced pressure too..and I hope it totally paid off.
@ nichie
I agreed with what you said… Mr KUNG is Incredible & amazing person.. He treated the boys so well…THANK YOU MR. KUNG & THAI FANS as well….

he’s such a very warm person. that why many people fall in love with him. i’m one of them.
so proud of them, getting stronger and stronger, and bigger than before.
Wow ! Being a state’s guest meaning they treat him like a president of the country…wait, he IS a president, of JYJ country ! LOL..can I move there ?

YAAAY so many NEWS about my boys *Happy* ^___^
Oh, Jae!
This isn´t news for me, I´ve always known the wonderful human being you are, JJ! ^_____^
yesssssssssssssssssssssssss
That’s awesome and very respectful of JJ!! Defintely my role model.
I have to seriously disagree with one part of the article. Jae is NOT representing Korea. Not when she treats him like that.
But it is true he is bringing two states closer. But it’s Thailand and Angel-land!!
Jae is representing the angels as the Prince of Angel, to send their regards to the King of Thailand.
This is what I call, touch by an angel! And dear Jae is certainly one!!!
@ Shadow
I agreed with your comments…
🙂
yessssssssssssssssssssss
hi’s beautiful outside inside jeje ♥ U
thats why i love jaejoong sooooo muchhhh……. but i oso luv yoochun n junsu… hehe
This articles and news make me cried. This is not just simply music anymore this is international diplomatic relation between countries already. OMG how a single pure heart can actually ties so many love from one nation to another. I can express how deeply moved I am with this pure gesture from Jaejoong. He might not think about the impact of what he did. We pretty much know how random he is, and we know that randomness reflect how he’s heart, emotions and mind really are. Jaejoong how awesome you can be. You’re only 25 a year younger than me but your sincerity had pass people of 40 y old that I know. Your kindness had transparent all.

before was japan now thailand…..jae always bring friendships to the other country…..his action and attitude really beautifull and i won’t suprise if someday he became a tourism ambassador for korea….

That’s why jaejoong became so special in his fans in around of the world….jae not only give us warm feeling but also some love and care not like some other korean star who just gave some arogant acts…..now i want to see some people faces who told that jyj exist just bring bad effect…they’re really ignorance….the people who just bring bad effect was themself….the people who gave bad images about korean wafe was themself and some people who just arrogant for his/her sucessfull…..
oh well i hope there are no people who bring this articles down again….or maybe we can save some articles like these in some folder so if these articles really gone we can post it again in some website ?
upps srory for the long comment ^_^
This made me shed a tear. Jae…such inspiration.
I’m just…speechless. I cannot. I absolutely adore this man. Such great character.
I’m sorry, SM cannot stop this dude. Someone like him CANNOT be beaten. You just can’t.
Jae is so thoughtful how can you bring someone down who’s being by nature is uplifting.
He’s not perfect by a long shot but what he makes do with who he is, his flaws and how he treats people, it’s such greatness.
I need to give him a special nickname, he is a prince, but that’s taken. Something to describe his own unique character cause this guy is special. Like who would think to do this and be so humbled?
I’m so glad I’m a fan, I’m taking notes LOL. His humbleness humbles me.
“…how can you bring someone down who’s being by nature is uplifting.”
I absolutely love this comment!!
Thank you Shhh. ♥
“Teary eyes” i`m moved by his kindness and thoughtful.
He never stop amazed me…..
i love you, baby~~
So not only the Prime Minister daughter went to the concert but also members of the royal family?!!!?!!!
SM,does it burn?
=p
I wonder who from the R.F. went…most of the princesses from the younger generation are the same age as JYJ^^
…..hmm so personally seeing how Jae:
1.looks like a Prince
2.loves Thailand,and we knew that from years ago,
3.loves the Thai King
4.loves elephant and Thailand is full of them
5.later on,not now,he needs to get married……….
……………maybe he should marry a Thai Princess!!XD
So here are my canididates =p
1.Princess Khun Ploypailin Jensen,she is uber cute older than him by 4 years,but didn’t Jae say he liked older women?!^_=
2.Princess Khun Sirikitiya Jensen,this confirms my theory that us from mixed race are way hotter than “pure”race =p,she is only a year older and yes she is hot.
3.HRH Princess Adityadhornkitikhun,if she manages to stay thin this time, she will be a beautiful wife for Jae,older than him by 2 years.–>in line for the throne,but it’s a remote case cause first all her cousins and her older sister have to die.
4.HRH Princess Siriwannawari Nariratana,younger than him by one year,she is considered a beauty,i personally like her beauty less than the others.In the case of her father,aunt and older sister death she becomes Queen of Thailand!
So what you think of Jae becoming a REAL Prince?^_^
I approve !!!
@3rebelangels wrote this…..
These are some wrong information in this news.
1. JJ is not a “state guest”. He was not invited to visit the King as the news claim. Everybody can go to the hospital and pay respect to the king just like JJ did.
2. First time when JJ was in Thailand, it was true that we use yellow bracelet as symbol for our love to the King. But now we are wearing the pink one, just like JJ was wearing.
3. The Shopping Mall was not closed the whole floor for JJ. He was there as normal tourist. Lots of fans went there and saw him. We got lots of his pictures that day. JJ wasn’t really invited but he knew from Mr.Kung (411 organizer’s CEO) that they would go to pay respect for the king at the hospital the day after that. That’s why he went to the shopping mall for buying suit and tie.
Please understand the news about King in Thailand is pretty sensitive issue for all Thais. This news could cause negative effect their reputation heavily because some people could see JYJ as if they did use the king for promotion.
——————————————————–
As Thai fans, we feel the necessity to set the record straight on this matter…^^
Royal family is unlikely ordering a closed floor for a personal purpose. The day JJ shopped fan did follow him around, so no closed floor. As for attending a concert, it’s unlikely happening, since the security will be a lot tighter..and it’s not the case for both concerts.
I thought too the points 1 and 2 were written incorrectly, didn’t know about the Mall. Some writers like to make their stories more interesting than it really was in reality. Hopefully this won’t hurt JYJ reputation in Thailand.
Maybe you could ask the Admins to put that as a footnote so as not to cause confusion/misinformation. ^^
Im so so so proud of him!!
Jae, <3333
Jaeeeeeeeeeeeeee! <333

There are a lot of factual errors in this article…is this the only article out in the Korean press about his visit?
jaejoong is really a great person that you cant find someone like him in this world and you cant help but to love him
seriously i dont get how some people could bash him and hate him and call him “greedy” “traitor” etc
sigh ><
Pls re-edit the essay as the DC TVXQ Gallery showed, for avoid getting more trouble to Jaejoong. Pls………….
